As most of you know, there was a serious disaster in Japan. As a "starving artist", I really cannot do much for the people of Japan. However, I have decided that I will start a small fundraiser to do what I can. Anyone who donates $10 dollars (809.80 yen) are more to the Japanese Red Cross Society will receive a custom made avatar of your choice. Anyone who donates $20 (1619.60 yen) or more will receive either a custom portrait or a custom GIF avatar. Portraits can be created either digitally or in pencil, but all prizes will be sent digitally.

How to receive your gift:

1. Donate to the Japanese Red Cross
2. Take a picture of the donation receipt
3. Send the picture of the receipt along with your request to babe200133416@yahoo.com. Feel free to black out your personal information such as name and address.
4. In the request, please include the following information:

- Email address to where I should send your gift
- Whether you want an avatar, portrait, or GIF avatar
- A picture of what you wish to be drawn
- A picture of the receipt to verify that you have donated

Poem by Desiderate

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass.

Take kindly to the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
